Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 238 - 238 238 Jiang Shaoqings New Year Gift

?Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Jiang Shaoqing’s New Year Gift Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Jiang Shaoqing’s New Year Gift Bai Xiao rested overnight, and the next day she returned to the hospital to report in. Essentially, she would actually be going on vacation and returning home in three days.

Dean Zhang was quite happy to see her. “You little rascal, you had me worried for a long time! I called President Jiang, and he said old Mr. Jiang is much better now, actually able to eat a bowl of rice per meal. He used to have a poor appetite, but now he can eat tremendously and he keeps praising you.” Naturally, Dean Zhang was pleased since his own people were bringing glory to him.

What she didn’t mention was that on the phone, President Jiang hadn’t spared her, accusing her of poaching his corner, pointing out Bai Xiao was from Aviation University. Dean Zhang wasn’t one to eat humble pie, he sharply retorted that if she didn’t report in, then she wasn’t from Aviation University. Besides, if Bai Xiao went to fly planes, that would be a true waste of a medical talent.

Bai Xiao smiled lightly, very modestly, “Dean, I just did my best, didn’t do much really. Mr. Jiang still needs the hospital’s treatment cooperation afterwards.” She liked the dean, who was over fifty and had a very kind presence, not intimidating at all.

A bit irreverent by nature, Dean Zhang had always indulged her antics, treating her like his own child, Bai Xiao was not afraid to face Dean Zhang.

“Oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you, after the holidays are over, I’ve enrolled you in Medical University for further studies. Go and learn systematically for two years, with a stipend. When you return, you can be promoted to attending physician. You really have to grasp this opportunity well. Keep in mind that we are not a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital, and TCM departments are not a priority. This opportunity was hard-won, a recommendation from a professor at the Medical College. If you don’t study hard, you would be letting me, your Dean, down!” Dean Zhang was very fond of this young woman, treating Bai Xiao with a relaxed attitude, like a favored junior.

Bai Xiao immediately nodded, “Dean sir, thank you, I understand. I will study hard, aim high, and make sure to complete the tasks you’ve assigned, sir.” After her nonsense, she even gave a military salute.

Dean Zhang was nearly laughing from jubilation.

“You, stop your blabber and get back to work. I don’t know how many people have been hollering these past two days, those wanting your acupuncture are about to wear out my ears.”

Bai Xiao nodded solemnly, and withdrew.

Upon reaching her office, Xiaoli had arrived early and cleaned her office spotlessly, even brewing the elder white tea she liked.

Xiaoli had now officially become her intern as her assistant.

After a busy day of seeing patients, Bai Xiao finally had time to call her big brother to report her return, and also to reassure him. Her brother also mentioned that he had already bought the tickets, a lower berth, departing the morning after her vacation starts, potentially reaching their home by evening if all went well.

Bai Xiao and her big brother discussed the journey for quite some time before they finally hung up.

No sooner had she put down the phone, it rang again.

Bai Xiao picked up the phone, thankful for the phone in the specialists’ building. Her guess was probably right: it was An Zhiyuan.

“Xiaoxiao, are you back?” An Zhiyuan’s deep voice seemed to be containing some emotion.

“Yes, I got back last night.”

“Did you miss me?” This question hung unanswered on both ends of the phone for a moment.

Bai Xiao bit her lip, the man now exhibiting a fierce offensive, “I didn’t miss you!” Her words belied her heart, she certainly wouldn’t tell him she had thought of him lying on the couch that night.

“But I missed you!”

Her cheeks flushed a fiery red, Bai Xiao suddenly understood An Zhiyuan’s potential was growing immensely by the day.

“An Zhiyuan…” Bai Xiao felt like she was grinding her teeth.

“Call me Ayuan, we can’t possibly keep using full names forever, are we going to continue even if we get married?”

Alright! Bai Xiao realized for the first time that when a serious man gets playful, nobody can resist.

“An Zhiyuan, that’s enough! I’m hanging up now.”

Facing too formidable an opponent, she could only retreat in defeat.

“Have you booked your ticket? I’ve already booked mine for a week from now. I’ll bring you some stuff tomorrow evening, I’ve bought some local specialties for your elder and second sisters. You can take them back!”

“Sounds like they are my sisters indeed!”

How could this person so smoothly call out for elder sisters?

And by what right did he buy local specialties and ask her to bring them back? What was that all about?

“Yes, yes, your elder sisters, aren’t they also my elder sisters?”

When An Zhiyuan said this, Bai Xiao didn’t feel he faced any inconvenience.

“An Zhiyuan…”

“Ayuan!”

An Zhiyuan’s stubborn voice finally carried a serious tone.

“Ayuan, it’s getting late, let’s sleep early.” Bai Xiao compromised, intending to hang up the phone.

“Are you tired?”

“Tired, very tired!” Bai Xiao said insincerely.

Clearly still wide-awake, who would have thought An Zhiyuan could suddenly become so charming.

An Zhiyuan’s deep laughter came through, “Alright, sleep well, I’ll come over tomorrow night! Make me dinner, I’ve been craving your cooking, you don’t know how terrible our cafeteria is.” He sounded almost like he was cooing.

Bai Xiao forcefully hung up the phone.

Did he really see her as just a cook?

Yet, she still smiled, this man!

She opened the suitcase, only now finding time to unpack the gifts Jiang Shaoqing had given her.

But as she organized, she was surprised; Jiang Shaoqing was more generous than she had imagined.

Especially when she opened one of the big brown paper bags that neatly contained ten thousand dollars.

Back then, there weren’t any fifty or hundred denominations, the largest was ten dollars, so ten thousand dollars was indeed a huge sum.

Precisely piled stacks of new bills dazzled her eyes, and even though in later years she would see millions in bills regularly, money was never an issue for her, as it was something she could easily obtain.

But this was different.

Nowadays, ten thousand dollars seemed nearly equivalent to a million later on.

The suitcase had many items, and only then did she realize that five suitcases were organized according to her family’s members, except for two suitcases that were clearly intended for her! The clothes, shoes, and accessories inside were obviously aimed at girls of her age.

One suitcase contained men’s items; watches, leather shoes, belts, but no coats! However, thoughtfully, there were warm underclothes and woolen shirts, and also cigarettes and liquor, clearly Maotai and Wuliangye.

The other two suitcases held one ladies’ quartz watch, three digital watches, more clothes and shoes, and a radio. Just the down jackets alone totaled four sets, not to mention one set included backpacks, pens, and stationery while another contained one ladies’ watch, two men’s watches, three digital watches, a radio, six different-sized down jackets, and three sets of stationery and backpacks. These suitcases also packed cigarettes and liquor, clearly indicating that Jiang Shaoqing understood her family’s circumstances quite well.

Ah, Jiang Shaoqing was really going big.

Bai Xiao looked over the items and felt a bit distressed, how was she supposed to carry all these?

Jiang Shaoqing had already prepared her New Year’s goods; wasn’t that obvious?

The problem was how to bring them back. Now, that was worrisome!
